The book was like a mine cart rapidly going down a track full of missing sections, the pace was so fast that most of the gaps were flown over, but in the end it did crash and burn a little.One of the main issues is the cheap conclusion. I managed to predict one of the suspects, though their involvement was smartly and subtly foreshadowed, but the other suspect and the overall method of the opening crime was impossible to realistically suspect with the evidence given. Another problem lies with5 Words: Thrilling, twisting, unexpected, brutal, love.5 More Words: Intricate, countryside, police, mystery, drama.This is a very intricate thriller, which keeps you guessing and continuously keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you have something figured out, then BAM! You were wrong.The thing I loved most about this book was the unbelievable pace. I was almost out of breath reading this and didn't want to put it down. So much happens between these pages, and to so many people.I wasn't
Typically turbo-paced Kernick thriller with a few serious twists and turns. Short paragraphs make you read it apace too - enhancing the feeling that you're on some kind of murderous rollercoaster.Best news of all - Scope is back. Anyone who read Kernick's 'Siege' will know all about Scope. And in 'Stay Alive' he's given a central role.This felt a lot shorter than previous Kernick adventures and, at just 345 pages, it almost certainly is. But that only helps to accentuate the speed of the entire
Stay alive is the first book by Simon Kernick that I have read. It was certainly an interesting read. He is a talented writer which has inspired me to read more of his books. The story had a gratifying ending.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.As a fan of crime and thrillers I feel a bit bad that until now I had not read a Simon Kernick novel. I went into reading this with no expectations at all, a blank page, ready to be filled up with impressions.Stay Alive kicks off rapidly with a bucket load of killing and action. We are off to a good start I was thinking. I like a book that kicks into first gear by the end of Chapter One. Hooked in,
This book is absolutely incredible, the way it was written, how certain phrases and actions kept you hanging, everything about it is remarkably memorable. What I loved about it, is how the author gave the characters the right to outshine their actions. Kernick gave them the right to be complicated and to own that complexity so they can come to life and stand behind their beliefs. He doesnt draw lines or limitations to their thinking or actions. Im sure that at some point he let the characters
Ok so this book is not going to win any prizes in the deep thinking big character development novel but what it lacks in feeling it makes up for sheer enjoyment...and lets face it sometimes it's good to just go along for the ride :)...Amanda Rowan arrives home to find that her husband is upstairs in bed with his mistress and guess what both have been murdered!! and not only that the killer is still present and wants to claim Amanda as his third trophy for the day. So starts a great white knuckle
